From a standing start of zero, QikBIM generated 281,665 content views and thousands of new followers, reached 186,637 architecture, engineering and construction (“AEC”) professionals in a single eight-day campaign, drove an 830% surge in website visitors and a 565% surge in sessions, and converted its first paying subscribers — the first subscription revenue in the platform’s history. Nearly 98% of every view came from professionals who had never previously interacted with the platform, and “save” has remained QikBIM’s number one engagement action since launch — the clearest available signal that architects and engineers are bookmarking QikBIM for their next project. The momentum arrives as QikBIM takes aim at one of the largest cost centers in project delivery: the platform is designed to save up to $1 million per project by producing coordinated architectural, structural and BIM outputs up to 10x faster and reducing time to project completion by as much as 80%.  The Economics of QikBIM: A Seven-Figure Opportunity Per Project  BIM production remains one of the most labor-intensive, time-consuming and cost-intensive components of the AEC workflow. Projects routinely face long turnaround times, growing outsourcing costs and coordination challenges across architectural, structural and mechanical, electrical and plumbing (“MEP”) disciplines.  QikBIM attacks that bottleneck directly. The platform converts design inputs and 2D drawings into coordinated architectural drawings, structural plans, intelligent BIM models and material schedules in minutes rather than weeks, with permit-level documentation and automated clash detection, while maintaining compatibility with Autodesk Revit 2026, AutoCAD 2026, ETABS and SAFE and exporting to Revit, IFC and DWG formats.  By replacing manual modeling and reducing reliance on outsourced production teams, QikBIM is designed to cut BIM production time by up to 80% and deliver outputs up to 10x faster than traditional workflows. Those efficiencies compound: fewer coordination errors, fewer rework cycles, and fewer schedule delays — the primary cost drivers in large-scale development — which the Company estimates can translate into savings of up to $1 million on a single project.  QikBIM is available today at QikBIM.com with a 30-day free trial and an unlimited monthly subscription.  Zero to a Quarter-Million Views: The Viral Curve  QikBIM had no audience before launch. In launch week, June 16 through June 22, 2026, QikBIM content generated 8,618 views and reached 2,925 accounts, with 82.0% of that reach coming from non-followers. Week two more than doubled it: 17,807 views, up 106.6% week-over-week, and 8,049 accounts reached, up 175.2%. Week three climbed again to 25,418 views, up a further 42.7%, and 12,274 accounts reached, up 52.5% — with 97.2% of reach now coming from non-followers, a 15.2-point increase in three weeks. Cumulative views passed 45,700 inside the first three weeks of commercial availability.  The momentum did not slow. In the 30 days ended July 27, 2026, QikBIM’s profile drew more than 60,800 profile views and clicks — over 2,000 per day. By August 31, the platform’s audience had grown to 281,665 views and thousands of net new followers, with 97.8% of views still originating from non-followers. Week after week, QikBIM is being introduced to an entirely new audience of professionals, at scale, without recirculating an existing following.  One 12-Second Reel: 42,820 Views, 20,315 Professionals, 906 Website Visits  QikBIM’s launch reel, a single 12-second creative posted June 22, 2026, has become the platform’s signature asset. Across organic and paid placements, it has delivered 42,820 views, reached 20,315 AEC professionals and driven 906 direct visits to QikBIM.com — with “save” as its top engagement action, outranking likes, comments and shares. Professionals are not just watching QikBIM; they are keeping it.  Eight Days, 186,637 Professionals: The Paid Launch  On July 20, 2026, QikBIM entered its first full paid launch on Meta platforms. Eight days later, it had recorded the strongest week in the platform’s history:  <ul type="disc"><li style="text-align:justify;">224,988 impressions served at an average frequency of just 1.21 — breadth, not repetition; </li><li style="text-align:justify;">186,637 unique accounts reached — approximately 23,300 professionals per day; </li><li style="text-align:justify;">4,682 link clicks to QikBIM.com — approximately 585 per day, or 2.51% of everyone reached; </li><li style="text-align:justify;">A 2.08% click-through rate — roughly double the approximately 1% averages commonly cited for Meta advertising, achieved in a specialized professional vertical where clicks are among the hardest to earn; and </li><li style="text-align:justify;">82 AI-assisted product inquiries captured directly from the campaign funnel — more than ten per day. </li></ul> By the third week of launch, 96.2% of QikBIM views were ad-driven — a deliberate hand-off from organic proof-of-concept to paid scale, executed once the content had demonstrated it could earn attention on its own.  Demand Converts: 830% Website Surge, 565% Session Growth, First Paying Subscribers Attention translated directly into traffic, registrations and revenue: <ul type="disc"><li style="text-align:justify;">Unique visitors to QikBIM.com up 830% and sessions up 565% within three weeks of launch — including a 545% jump in sessions in launch week alone; </li><li style="text-align:justify;">98% of website visitors were new, and approximately 65% arrived on mobile; </li><li style="text-align:justify;">Registered users grew 75% period-over-period through the July 14 reporting date, with every registration acquired through QikBIM’s own content and paid social prior to any influencer spend; </li><li style="text-align:justify;">QikBIM’s first paying subscribers converted directly out of the July campaign funnel, generating the first subscription revenue in the platform’s history; and </li><li style="text-align:justify;">A qualified pipeline of 124 named contacts — 82 AI-assisted inquiries and 42 prior-campaign contacts — is now in active direct outreach, win-back and outbound sequences. </li></ul> Demand is also global. Within three weeks of launch, QikBIM.com was drawing visitors from six countries — the United States (68.2% of traffic), Hong Kong (11.6%), the United Kingdom, India, Germany and Italy — giving the platform an international footprint from day one.  Discovered by AI: 161 ChatGPT Referrals and Counting QikBIM is being found where professionals now search. In a single reporting period, the platform recorded 161 discovery events originating from ChatGPT-related searches — up 106% — alongside 31 AI-assisted queries on QikBIM.com itself. The July paid launch then captured a further 82 AI-assisted inquiries in eight days. QikBIM is already surfacing where professionals search.  Management Commentary  Larry Wong, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OFA Group, commented: “QikBIM went from zero to more than a quarter of a million views in ninety days, and it did it in front of an audience that had never heard of it — nearly 98% of every view was a first introduction. That is not a marketing campaign finding an existing customer base. That is a new AI platform going viral inside a professional industry. Architects and engineers watched it, saved it, searched for it, signed up for it, and are now paying for it. “These numbers are our proof of demand. In eight days we reached nearly 187,000 professionals at a click-through rate double what this industry expects, and we converted our first paying subscribers straight out of that funnel. We built QikBIM to take a seven-figure cost out of a single project, and the market’s response tells us that message has landed.” To learn more about QikBIM, visit <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=lA62_l4-trwzK13yawkNyZwXXcPuEA9jgS_vBv1bwsZ6TfNgfVIdd9HI-W6XMr-QPx5s0fk4DFpJoQyD5UcVhDbOyy3i4gmH98Xf9bbbgrs=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">https://www.qikbim.com/</a>.  About QikBIM  QikBIM is OFA Group’s proprietary AI-powered Building Information Modeling platform, designed to deliver architecture at machine speed.
